[hometext] => Just some things I couldn't say to him directly because things are awkward enough. Only a few parts feel like real poetry to me, the rest seems like a letter. Hopefully he'll comment and at least give me closure on this poem and future poems.
[bodytext] => Stepped on the scale, three nights--and apparently five pounds--since you let go There have been so many things you've taught me about love So many ways you've proved me wrong about love-- for the better, for the best Things I never believed were truly true until you And here's one more thing you and the scale just taught me: "Can't eat, can't sleep" is more than a melodramatic hyperbole... Because I realized that, while wondering how to cope and whether we'll both be okay... I've literally forgotten how to eat... And even unknowingly refused offers of refreshments Thought about the ideal way to cope Turns out what I want is to summersault, plummetting into a place where only you can contact me and you alone Turns out what I want is as impossible as I expected to be That expected impossibility seems to have been correct since my first comprehension of love Which might be the one thing about love that you won't prove to be otherwise This seems such rigamarole, such a maze to put out there, But I'm necessarily telling you all of this indirectly I can't say it to your face or even send it in a letter 'Cause I just know you'd just push it away So it's here jumbled up in jibberish and analogies like fairy tales... If someday I can still be your Cinderella (like you once said with your own two lips), I can live happily ever after If someday that possibility is gone forever, if you eternally knock down all my hopes You'll still be my Prince Charming (like the charicature personifies), But I'll be a lost and lonely, broken Cinderella who has resolved to live "as content as possible" ever after instead My heart will always belong to you, my Prince Charming Let the following words stand as my glass slipper, for their meaning is clear as glass: "I will love you for eternity." Please, please hurry to figure out if you can find and return your Cinderella's slipper If you find that you can't... ...then just keep it [comments] => 7 [counter] => 323 [topic] => 61 [informant] => liquidsunshine [notes] => (Edited by Mod_11 as requested) [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
